in reading some other sports investing boards, ive noticed most of the touts are on Baylor, except for root, who has a millionaire play with TCU. Most of "name" touts are going with Baylor at 3.5 or 4.

i did a chalkeater round robin x2 on thusdays games...just to get off to a good start. heh. i am up +1.16 units. i took ucla su at +120 for 1 unit so far for saturday. trying to figure out two more maybe three. nobody likes georgia or lsu su?

I love Kent State +38.5 at Bama. Saban is a Kent State graduate. He also played and coached there. I doubt he will try and humiliate them so he may call off the dogs early. Bama will also likely be looking ahead to Penn State.

After all the debate, I stayed conservative and finished 4-1: Boise straight up; Bama got the over by themselves, Wiscy called off the dogs enough to not cover, and the BYU/OM under came through. I missed the Michigan/Western Michigan over due to the game being called early for weather. Not too bad for week one. I will likely kick myself for not taking the over on aTm and SMU. I think that game should have plenty of points.

What a weekend! I was 1-2, which has been my long-term betting history. Maybe I should just copy your picks

Thanks for the compliment. I am flattered and you are welcome to use my picks anytime. Just keep in mind my week could have gone the other way very easily. I generally do pretty well when I am betting my own money. I suck at the hogville pickem.

My betting style has changed. With a wife and 1 year old I put money aside for gambling until the season started. If I lose that I am done for a while. My point is in days past I would win much more money, but also ran the risk of losing more. Set up a bankroll and use a weighted system. I use units based on 100.00. So a one unit bet is 100.00 a 2* is 200.00 and so forth. Bet units on each based on the strength of your belief in the cover. You can get a bit freaky if you start out hot on Thur night, but I don't suggest it. Pick and weigh out each play for the entire weekend before your first bet. Do not change course on that based on how you do. Don't double up or bet a higher unit amount just because you are winning.

If you are averaging 1-2 you should either research more, or use someone else pick for a while until you truly have a feel for what you are doing. I do not mean that as a slight to you. Only to say if its not working change it.

Good luck to you. For tonight do some research. How many starters returning for each team. What team has more players with real game experience. Decide if the Miami chaos is a negative or a rallying point. I believe the latter. Better talent even with backups, and a come together moment.

Therxforum.com mainly...lots of good info over there. They post most service plays, which i use only as a tool to better my own bets. I don't follow touts blindly, but i will use their opinion if i am torn on which way to go. I may have a board with 10 games on it and narrow it down to 5, then if i have a game which all my info leaves me right in the middle, i may look for some of the better touts to go one way or the other. But the main reason i use it is for the info they bring. I also check sbr forums, but mainly rx.

Thanks man. That last throw tonight made me lose 2 bills tonight rather than winning 5.5. I am very happy with the weekend. I am even happy with picking the canes plush the points tonight. The odds of the last play going the opposite direction are very long.
